Eco Friendly Heating supplies leading electric underfloor heating brands, including Warmup.
The DCM-PRO range of underfloor heating from Warmup provides excellent protection for tiled floors. This cable is designed to be used with either the DCM-PRO Peel-and-Stick or DCM-PRO Fleece-Backed decoupling membrane.
Two Heating Cable Options – Standard and Low Wattage
The DCM-PRO system offers flexible heat output through a choice of two heating cables, allowing you to tailor the system to your project requirements.
- 112.5W/m² to 225W/m² (Standard Output): The DCM-PRO blue cable provides a flexible output range suitable for most tiled floor installations, including bathrooms, kitchens, and living spaces.
- 41.3W/m² to 82.5W/m² (Low Output): The low wattage option is ideal for homes with low electrical load availability or very well-insulated properties, where a gentler heat output is more appropriate.
The low wattage DCM-PRO system can support floor finishes with higher thermal resistance, up to 3.0 tog, making it a useful option in certain build-ups where insulation levels are already high.
DCM-PRO combines easy installation, flexible heat output, and tile protection, making it one of the most versatile underfloor heating systems for tiled floors.
The Warmup DCM-PRO heating cable (standard power) comes with a Lifetime Limited Warranty, covering the cable for as long as you own the property, provided it is installed correctly and registered within 30 days of purchase.
Important: To qualify for the warranty, the heating cable must be installed with the official DCM-PRO decoupling mat system.
FAQ's
What is the benefit of using DCM-PRO with a decoupling membrane?
The decoupling membrane helps protect tiled floors from movement in the subfloor, reducing the risk of cracks while also providing a structured layout for the heating cable.
How do I choose between standard and low wattage cables?
Standard wattage is best for most homes and rooms with typical heat demand. Low wattage is better suited to highly insulated properties, low-energy homes, or installations with limited electrical capacity.
Can DCM-PRO be used as the main heat source?
Yes, when correctly designed and installed, DCM-PRO can be used as a primary heating system in tiled areas. In lower heat demand spaces, it may also be used as supplementary heating.
Is DCM-PRO suitable for all tile types?
Yes, it is suitable for ceramic, porcelain, and most natural stone tiles when installed using the correct adhesive and system build-up.
